Okobi Set For New Challenge With Swedish Club

Super Falcons midfielder, Ngozi Okobi believes her move to the Swedish side, Eskilstuna United will make her a better player.

The Nigeria international joined Eskilstuna United from another Swedish outfit Viitsjo GIK where she spent two seasons.

“I look very much forward to coming to Eskilstuna, which is a top club. The team wants to play good football and keep the ball within the team,” Okobi told the club’s official website.

“My goal is of course to be an even better player and to help the team to as good a position as possible in the league.

“I’ve also played in Washington Spirit in the United States of America and Damallsvenskan (Swedish League)  is very classy.”

Head coach of Eskilstuna United, Johan Bennas, is also delighted with the Okobi’s arrival at the club and hopes she ‎plays at her best for the club.

“In Ngozi Okobi, we have a technical player with offensive qualities who is always calm on the ball. She has good feet and we look forward to working with her.

“She has great potentials and we believe we have not seen her best yet in the Damallsvenskan but we are convinced she will be at her best here.

The 24-year-old has been capped 27 times by Nigeria and has scored our goals.
